To quote one man 'I'm so sick of 8-bit'
ReplyDeletelol That was me! Yeah. I'm so tired of stupid lazy 8-bit sprites.
DeleteAs much as I'm a fan of the 8-bit style, I have to agree. this would be greatly improved with actual 3D models of Megaman and the like, even if they stuck to an 8-bit color and design motif.
DeleteI love the graphical effects on this one.
ReplyDeletePretty trippy stuff.
It's not too bad. The gameplay mechanics are a bit off though. Jumping and grabbing onto ladders feels stiff and there is a huge delay between firing your buster shots and it going off-screen. The bullets don't immediately die off when they go off-screen so rapid firing is pretty broken at the moment. It's sometimes to hard to see where you will land after you jump. I hope they include some simple shadows or something to remedy this.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the feedback, we are still working on the physics trying to improve them, so it will get better in the future, we do try to be as close as possible to the originals in terms of feeling.
